Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Assassination

Claude instinctively took a step back; it was this half-step retreat that bought Claude a lifeline. He successfully dodged the dagger’s fatal blow, although his shoulder was still sliced open with a wound, but compared to being pierced through the heart, this little injury was hardly worth mentioning.

The assassin disguised as a servant glared fiercely, then planned to turn and leave, blending into the crowd, waiting for the next opportunity.

But Xu Ke didn’t give him a chance to leave. Xu Ke swiftly dashed forward, sliding to a stop in front of the assassin, blocking his escape route.

The assassin’s eyes bore into Xu Ke mercilessly; he didn’t waste words on Xu Ke and directly lunged with the dagger, targeting Xu Ke’s weakest points. Each stab was intended to be deadly.

He had no intention of letting Xu Ke live; anyone in his way he didn’t want alive. This was the message Xu Ke read from the assassin’s eyes and actions.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the two had exchanged blows several times, evenly matched, neither able to overcome the other.

"You go quickly, leave this to me," Xu Ke said to Claude.

Claude realized the situation now, knowing that standing there, not only wouldn’t he provide Xu Ke with any help, but he might also cause a distraction, slowing Xu Ke down.

So Claude did not hesitate, turned around, and ran out, wanting to call over a few security guards to subdue this assassin appearing out of nowhere along with Xu Ke.

The assassin watched Claude trying to run and knew he could no longer delay. His gaze toward Xu Ke grew even more ferocious, and correspondingly, his attacks sped up.
